Problems installling

["Eric Bermender g.h.m." <ericberm@xxxxxxx>]

Is anyone else running into problems installing gingin?

I downloaded the iso's and burned them to CDs.  MD5sums checked out OK
as does the cd check at the begining of the install.  I also burned
another copy of disk one just to make sure it wasn't a media problem. 
I'm able to boot off the first CD and get to the installer.  I then
configure disk in disk druid (1024 /boot, 4096 /, 8192 swap, all the
rest /usr) and set up the eth0 info.  After setting the root password,
the system just hangs at "reading packages".  Once it started up so I
deciede to reset the system and see if I could figure out why it was
stalling on reading packages.  However I can't get it past the reading
packages dialog even accepting all the defaults (which is what I did to
get it running that one time).  This happens in both the gui and text
mode.

The hardware I think is fine as I had Suse running on it without
problems before I tried to install RH.  I'm using a duel opteron system
with 8 gigs of ram on a rio works system board with the latest bios
updates.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

-ERIC
